Pilot's Potty Mouth Grounds Flight

Northwest Airlines canceled a flight from Las Vegas to Detroit because of "rude language" used by the captain. The cursing reportedly happened during passenger boarding while the pilot was talking on a cell phone. He exited the cockpit and locked himself in the plane's bathroom, where passengers could still hear his coarse language.

When the captain emerged from the bathroom, a passenger confronted him about his behavior, reportedly prompting more cursing by the pilot of the B757 aircraft.
